A threaded cap can help you make wooden packaging even more eco-friendly without renouncing elegance and prestige. Let’s see how in this article.
In January 2020, IBM—the American multinational technology company—published an important study on consumer trends (you can download the report here) in which they reveal that shopping behaviour has significantly changed toward a more conscious experience.
They report that consumers today prefer products and brands that align with their values. Sustainability is especially important for them, and more than 70% would be willing to pay a premium of 35% for brands that demonstrate particular attention to protection of the environment.
Moreover, 57% of consumers would change their purchasing habits to help reduce negative environmental impact.
This data is significant for brands, as it means those companies that consider eco-friendliness important and demonstrate involvement have greater possibilities of success. On the contrary, ignoring sustainability is a risk for their reputation and the whole business.
Including sustainable products in your catalogue is therefore the right decision to be successful in the market.
Sustainability is not just about the raw materials.
It’s all about finding a balance between meeting our needs without compromising future generations.
When talking about wood, most people believe that cutting trees is always bad, but there is a significant difference between deforestation and sustainable logging. In a responsibly managed forest, for every tree harvested, another one replaces it, ensuring that there are no negative consequences on the soil or trees.
A threaded wooden cap can make your wooden packaging 100% sustainable.
Wood is eco-friendly by its nature, so wooden packaging is certainly an ecological solution (ensuring that the raw material is FSC certified). If you want to offer a completely sustainable object, however, you can choose threaded wooden caps, which avoid the use of inner plastic.
What does this mean?
In the past, wooden caps have needed an internal plastic threaded capsule to ensure perfect closing. Now, this plastic part and the associated glue for it can be definitively eliminated, resulting in a completely sustainable object.
However, not all threaded caps are equal.
Look at the picture below:
Standard threads, on the contrary, start tangentially to the edge of the cap and then rise progressively until they reach their maximum section height. Since wood is a “soft” material, such structure is subjected to wear over time, losing its smooth hermetic closure.

By doing this, you can be sure to get premium quality and sustainable products.
Since 1937, Minelli S.p.A. has designed and developed top-quality wood cosmetic packaging whose quality is recognized all over the world.
We were the first and only company that patented a completely eco-friendly threaded cap without plastic or glue, which we called Legnavis. It is the strongest and most durable cosmetic cap when compared with those of our competitors. Besides being completely sustainable, it can be enhanced with any kind of finishing option to create an elegant and beautiful object of design.
We can also apply water-based lacquers that have less of an impact on the environment and a very low content of VOC to create a 100% eco-friendly object.
